Description
Intelligent Virtue presents a distinctive new account of virtue and happiness as central ethical ideas. Julia Annas argues that exercising a virtue involves practical reasoning, which can be compared to the kind of reasoning involved in mastering a skill.
This approach helps us understand virtue as part of an agent's happiness or flourishing, and how it relates to doing the right thing. By examining the acquisition and exercise of virtue in everyday activities, Annas offers a better understanding of the ideal of virtue and its practical application.
